Would've been nice if that reveal at the end didn't get spoiled by that preview. Good work NBC. :T

Still, pretty good!

the manifesto leaking and their intentions turning out to be pure by virtue of them "knowing" they'll be going to the bad place are the two threads from this ep that I'm pretty sure the show will end up following up on

I do also want to see Simone respond to this

Btw if the Bad Place only managed to make a portal now, how did Trevor get down there earlier? I don't remember if he mentions how he ended up on Earth and that episode isn't on Hulu anymore

He went through the door like Michael did

I am surprised that nobody mentioned that the opening was a huge Lost reference.

I felt it was obvious enough that it didn't really need a comment

Desmond's character intro is still one of my all-time favorites

As much as I like Pushing Daisies, two seasons was enough, I don't think it could have sustained a third one.

i think it could've kept up a third season especially if they knew it would've been the last season

the 'we were in post-production when we found out we were cancelled' minute thirty wrapup at the last episode was way less than the show deserved

It's not and that study had a few major issues, including not using any works people cared about experiencing before the study

turns out people don't care about being spoiled on things they didn't know existed before they were told to read it

How can you care about a work that you haven't engaged with yet?

"What is Russian Doll? I'll watch the last episode first" is exactly what the study examines.

the study examines whether people are more interested in a work they've never heard of if they're told what it's about first (i.e. if they're told why it's interesting they tend to rate it slightly more interesting)

the study does not examine whether "people actually like things better if they're spoiled on it beforehand" as the article frames it as and a hell of a lot of people think the study did (and your post calling it the "superior way to experience things" made me think you were saying that)

edit: like, apologies if I'm going off kind of out of nowhere but I've had people people pull that poo poo on me more than once and go 'no you shouldn't be upset at me, you're :actually: going to like it more now! stop being upset I'm helping :)'

including once when I was legit sitting down to watch the last few episodes of a show I was really enjoying

it's a pet peeve

I mean giving someone the choice whether or not they want something to be spoiled, and abiding by that person's choice seems like basic "don't be a dick" behavior to me.

you'd think it'd be that simple for everyone, yeah
